"I am FAANG Sexual
What is that?
Sexually attracted to Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and/or google."
As a young IITian student explained this to me I realised it was the same
feeling I had towards companies like IBM, Adobe, Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle when I
was studying engineering.
I was obsessed. I remember how bad I felt when I was rejected by one of them
after almost 7 rounds of interviews. The reason was I could not solve a puzzle
in my final round.
The next few years I spent trying to master puzzles. It is so funny, how we run
after what we are unable to get.
Finally I ended up working for one of my dream companies. It was amazing
initially but slowly the charm went away. Many years later I got an offer from
another of my dream firms, they offered me a leadership role. I decided not to
pick it up, they were very surprised. I joined a startup instead.
It put me on a fast track & helped me become an entrepreneur. I remembered the
saying
"All that glitters is not gold"
